Lyman Peters returned on Sun
day last from a trip to Salmon
river and found his horses that
had wintered there in fine condi-
ton. He also visited Clayton and
Bayhorse. He found stock had
generally done exceedingly we'll in
Antelope valley and on the Salmon
river during the winter, the horses
particularly being in fine order.
The ranchers in the valley were
busy blowing and seeding and the
prospects for good crops very en-
couraging. While on his return
home he met parties from Lost
river that gave a poor account of
the stock there. Feed had been
poor during the winter and many
of the cattle had died with the
prospect of others meeting the
same fate. The snow on the sum-
init was fast disappearing, and
where the dirt had been thrown, it
was going very rapidly. He thinks
that teaming can be safely COM
menccd by the first of the coming
month.

An ERclent O0cial.

Homer L. Pound, Register of the
Land Office at Haley, is about to
retire from official duties and will
be succeeded by Henry Billings of
Illinois recently appointed as Reg
lister by the president. During his
term of office Mr.. Pound has made
a good officer, always obliging and
ready to assist any one having bus
mess with the land department.
His future movements are not
known but it is to be hoped that he
will remain and engage in some
business amongst the many friends
he has made. With such persons
as Mr.. Pound in office it makes
one wish that politics and govern
ment positions were divorced, and
capable persons retained in service
until retired by old age on pension.

A sure Sign.

The ambitions representative of
the porcine family, with an eye on
business bent is again abroad in
the land. The deep SHOWS Of win
ter rid the streets of this nuisance
for time but the first puddle of
water that showed up found itself
pre-empted by his hogship for a
Turkish bathing establishment.
The cheerful grunt of a motherly
old SOW and the squealing of a FAM
lily of half famished porkers, after
precarious existence during a
hard winter is a sure sign that
spring has come again. One old
stager that has meekly stood the
kicks and curses of suffering hu-
mainly for the two past years was
during the week observed basking
in the warm sunshine, engaged in
searching through the proceedings
of the last legislature to ascertain
if his right and privilege to roam
about the streets at his own sweet
will had been tempered with. If
he found any information on the
subject it is more than any one
else has been able to do.

The quarterly review and exer-
cises of the Union Sunday School
given on last Sunday evening was
a very interesting and decidedly
successful affair. Superintendent
Johnson, of the school, had charge
of the exercises, and the manner in
which they were conducted reflects
no little credit upon that gentleman.
The attendance was unusually
large, every seat being occupied.
A goodly number of the children
took part, giving Rotations, dia-
logues. etc., in very pleasant and
entertaining manner. The must
cal and vocal selections were rem
dered by Mrs. VIM. Grccnhow,
Miss Matte Lewis, Robert Warren
and Arthur Brownlow, the latter
at the close of the entertainment
singing the Russian National An
them. A feature of the evening
was the distribution Of printed
texts, to those present, as they en-
tered. each of which were numbered,
and the holder requested to read
the contents of the passage on his
or her card when their number was
called by the superintendent. 1t
was the most successful Sunday
School concert given in town.

The custom a great many people
have of throwing broken bottles,
nails or anything else which comes
to hand into the streets is a very
dangerous one. Horses are per-
manently MANNED or seriously in
jured by stepping on this sort Ut
rubbish in the streets. A public
thoroughfare should never be made
the depository of any kind Of de-
bris and with little care and extra
trouble the streets could he given a
far more preeentable appearance:
Il will soon be time for q general
cleanup. Already small effort in
this direction 10 preceptible on the
part of a few, but what Is required
Is concerted action and the streets
thoroughly cleaned, cross-walks
raised and necessary ditching done.
This once accomplished will give
to the town a far more cheerful
aspect, and the improvement made
so decided as to stimulate the peo-
ple with q determination to keep
them 50.

The notice of sale of the proper
ty of the Philadelphia company
under the hammer Of the sheriff.
has produced one funny incident.
Last week a gentleman arrived here
for the purpose of examining the
electric light plant of the company,
and had made up his mind to buy
the same, supposing that the vari-
Gus properties, claims, etc, would
be sold separately. After making
a thorough examination of the
lamps, dynamo, ETC., he stated his
desire and inquired if there would
be any show for him to make the
purchase. He was informed that
there would be nc objection, that
he could buy the electric plant, but
to do 50 would have to bid in few
odds and ends belonging to the
same in the shape of buildings,
furnaces, mines, etc., which could
be taken as a Job lot" and would
only necessitate an outlay of about
half a million dollars. The pro-
posed purchaser thinks he will use
coal oil for a time, until electric
lights come cheaper and don't have
SO many attachments.

Aston lslalmg Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let it its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of
all Druggists to recommend it to the
poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported.
Such medicine as the GERMAN
SYRUP cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Reg
ular size, IS cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.

The "U. p" Sketch Book has ar
rived, and, just as expected, is a
glaring fraud. 1t is filled with pic
lures from old wood cuts that have
done service for the company for
years. The descriptions of the va
rious towns is amusing, and the in
formation given at times Of start
ling nature. 1t says that the Elk
horn mine here shows a million
dollars in sight and hundreds Of
thousands have been taken out. 1t
is flimsy catch-penny affair, filled
with advertisements. 1t is no
credit to the railroad company to
get out such a hook. The only OBJ
ject in view appears to have been
to secure for its system of roads a
free advertisement at the expense
of those who were induced to pat
ronize the book to the extent of
$25. which was virtually throwing
that amount away.

The Custer mill is working full
blast on ore from the Lucky Boy
and Annie mines. The company
has a lease on these mines until
June LIST, and plenty of ore in
sight. Thirty men find employ
ment at the mill. The ore is hauled
to the Custer tramway, a distance
of nearly a mile. Thirty-five men
are working in the mines at 50 SO
a day.
Twenty-Five woodchoppers are
at work in the timber getting out
wood for the mill. Owing to the
long run fuel gave out. The chop
pers get from ~ 90 to - 80 per
cord.
Twelve men are at work at STAN
ley Basin. The Buckskin company
will commence active operations as
speedily as possible.
At the Loon creek diggings fif-
teen Cinnamon are wintering, wait
ing for the snow to 90 in order to
resume work.
A rich strike is reported in the
Charles Dickens mine. The water
has been all pumped out, and with
the little work already done four
foot body of ore struck, assaying
we'll up into the hundreds in silver
and a fair proportion Of gold.
Work in other parts Of the mine
has also proven satisfactory. Su-
perintendent VIM. Mcqueen has
fifteen men employed at present.
William Dougherty, employed in
the Dickens mine, while ascending
a ladder in the mine, fell to the
bottom of the shaft, a distance of
thirty feet, breaking his left leg.
The accident was caused by the
giving way of a broken round on
the ladder. Dougherty was sent to
Challis for medical care.

The friendly action ofthe Oregon
Short Line and o. r. & N. railways
has given Portland a decided adj
vantage over San Francisco in the
matter of Southern Idaho trade.
The two companies have made the
same rate from Portland to Ogden
that the Central Pacific has made
from San Francisco to the same
point. Under the provisions of
the new law the rates to nearer
points cannot be higher than to
Ogden. Goods shipped from San
Francisco to Southern Idaho must
pay the rate of Ogden and the local
rate northward to destination in
addition. This will enable Port
land to extend her trade particularly
in Pacific coast products to the
Wood River country.

There has been q small, but
steady advance in the east for the
past two months on all class of
mining and iron working ma
chinery; upon merchant bar iron
and nails, and consequently upon
all classes of hardware in which the
raw material entered largely into
the cost. This advance is due to
an increased demand. Since jan
uarv 1st there has been q revival of
business all manufactured goods
are in demand. The call for ma
chinery il unusually large, and
orders are fast accumulating and
have to await their turn to be filed.

On last Wednesday morning q
tramp was killed ON the Short Linz
near Bliss STATEN. Whether the
man was run over by the passenger
or freight train could not be deter
mined. The body was badly cut
up and was discovered by the crew
Of a passing freight train. The re-
mains were not identified but be-
lieved to have been those Of one Of
a gang of tramps that arrived in
Shoshone the previous night.

On Friday of last week, Halle,
eldest son of County Commissioner
Gillette, had quite an adventure on
Boyle Mountain while visiting
Howard Stetson. In the early part
of the morning an unusually large
and ferocious lynx was discovered
prowling around in close proximity
to the cabin searching for some
thing to appease ravenous hunger.
Halle seized his gun, only a % cali
Der, used for chicken or rabbit
shooting. and a knife, and rushed out
over the snow to kill the beast. The
first shot was fired within fifteen
feet of the lynx and inflicted but a
slight wound but sufficient to ell
rage the animal and make it show
fight. The youthful hunter took
in the situation at a glance and
while the lynx was crouching to
spring on the brave lad, Halle had
got his knife open and between his
teeth ready for emergency, while he
reloaded his gun. Just as the
lynx was ready to spring the boy
had his gun to his shoulder and q
we'll directed shot sent the bullet
the heart of the animal and
it fell dead at the feet of its slayer.
Halle lost but little time in secur-
ing the pelt of the lynx and brought
it to town on Sunday. 1t will
prove a pleasant reminder in COM
ing years of his adventure.

Francis Adams. president of the
Union Pacific railroad company on
the problems of the interstate COM
merce law will prove of special in
terest as few men have made q

he. The experience of Mr.. Adams
as a railroad man is such as to
give to his speech, which is to be
found on the first page Of this issue,
something of the character of an
expert opinion.

Ed. Cowley, proprietor Of the
Golden Gate livery stable, has done
one act that will prove very salts
factory to the travelling public, that
of reducing "bus" fare between
town and the depot. The fare now
charged is twenty-five cents, and
the reduction will prove . benefit
to him and everyone else. The
former price of half q dollar va:
too much for such a short trip and
caused no end of growing. The
reduction is not made by MIR. Cow
ley under the interstate law, but is
due to the simple fact that he is
disposed to live and let live, and
thinks that . quarter Of . dollar ia
enough to charge for one fare, 60
ing or coming.
